About this map

Blairsville serves as the focal point for this 1938 survey of Union County, located at the junction of several primary mountain routes. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Chattahoochee National Forest, including the prominent Little Duncan Ridge and Duncan Ridge. The Nottely River and Butternut Creek wind through the valleys, supporting a network of small agricultural settlements and community landmarks such as the County Home and the State Experiment Station.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous family-named sites, including the Butt Cem, Mathis Cem, and Duncan Cem. Early social infrastructure is well-documented through rural schoolhouses and churches like Harmony Grove Sch and Fairview Ch. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Vogel State Park and Lake Trahlyta mark the era's emerging recreational development amidst the steep gaps and knobs.
